Signal Processing at its most advanced. Bernstein Conference attracts brain scientists from all over the world to Berlin
Currently, Artificial Intelligence is often at the center of many debates. Yet, how strongly different research disciplines are interconnected in AI is often unclear to many. At the borders between the neurosciences and the natural sciences, computational neuroscientists worldwide are exploring different questions and yet always come back to the best example: the natural brain.
During the international Bernstein Conference on Computational Neuroscience from September 18-20 in Berlin, experts of deep learning, evolutionary brain research and applied AI will discuss current scientific topics.

BASF and TU Berlin launch machine learning cooperation
BASF and Technische Universität Berlin (TU Berlin) have signed an agreement to cooperate closely in the area of machine learning. The aim of the Berlin-based Joint Lab for Machine Learning (BASLEARN) is to develop workable new mathematical models and algorithms for fundamental questions relating to chemistry, for example from process or quantum chemistry. Both partners are jointly committed to this aim in the coming years. As an essential part of the cooperation, BASF will support the research work of Dr. Klaus Robert Müller, professor of machine learning and spokesperson for the Berlin Center for Machine Learning at TU Berlin, with a total of over €2.5 million over the coming five years.
